if I want to change out my red turn signals to the euro version yellow signals can I just change the bulb?

Unfortunately, your lci turn signals are a bunch of LEDs, and I don't think its possible to change them. If it is, it would require you to pull apart the light and change each individual LED. If the red turn signals bother you that much, then give it a shot .

If you are going to do that.. I would find some White LED's and make it all white.. now that would be hot!! =)

(btw, I'm an LED freak and I love white LEDS.. Yes. call me cheesy)

White LEDs definitely look good!! It seems like all the new models have LEDs built in now so changing them will be a bit of a hassle.

All my turn signals in the front is white LEDs and the rear is red, debating if I want to do the rear.

Yup, my front's are also white LED's too.

and rear are Yellow/amber Euro spec.


I wonder how long it would take to take it apart and buy the LED's for it, and solder it on..
